Apple Seeds Fourth Beta of watchOS 7.6 to Developers

Apple today seeded the fourth beta of an upcoming watchOS 7.6 update to developers for testing purposes, with the new beta coming two weeks after the release of the third beta.

7
To install the ‌watchOS 7.6 beta, developers need to download the proper configuration profile from the Apple Developer Center. Once the profile is in place, the watchOS beta can be downloaded through the dedicated ‌Apple Watch‌ app on the iPhone by going to General > Software Update.

To update to the new software, the ‌Apple Watch‌ needs to have 50 percent battery life, it must be placed on the charger, and it must be in range of the ‌‌‌‌‌‌‌iPhone‌‌‌‌‌‌‌.

We don't know what's included in the watchOS 7.6 update, and no new features were discovered in the first three betas.

Ok the way they have CH offset in these graphics is starting to annoy me too.

Seriously, how hard is it to let users add "top middle" or even "bottom middle" complications to more watch faces? Disable the function via grey out or whatever for those models that might not support.

So predominately, nothing is going to be added this update. They don't even say much about bugs.
